The topic could perhaps be exploring internet search engines and specific assigned websites, where they can report their findings in Microsoft Word. That way they will be learning more about how to use both the internet AND Microsoft Word--two programs that they will be using forever. ]]> 2020-03-30 13:50:38 UTC https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/482189585 https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/482224565 For Strand C, I would like to engage my students in online pen pals from across the globe. We had hand written pen pals in second and third grade, and it was something I really enjoyed. However, the times are changing and it is very possible to do emails or even video chat calls with other students their age from all around the world. The students can converse about issues that are facing their country/state/city/town, and come up with ways they can make a difference in their community. They will learn about different cultures while building social skills and learning about global issues. ]]> 2020-03-30 14:02:44 UTC https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/482224565 https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/483092363 For strand A, for a 6-8 class I would ask the students to create a survey of their own, and then report their data on an excel sheet and use Excel to create a pie chart or bar graph to show their results. Students would be learning how to use Excel as well as how it can be useful to solve real world problems. ]]> 2020-03-30 19:54:31 UTC https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/483092363 https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/483111531 For strand B, for a K-2 class, I might ask them to create a sale sign for a candy shop that indicated their favorite candy was on sale for a dollar. They would be asked to use Word to create this document and include a picture. Students would be learning how to use Word throughout this exercise as well as how to do basic functions such as change fonts, change size of text, and add pictures. ]]> 2020-03-30 20:06:04 UTC https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/483111531 https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/485168426 For a 9-12 class, I would have students create a personal blog or website about their academics and interests with at least 2-3 website headings or blog posts. Students in grade 12 who have a college in mind can even write about their experiences and what they want to major in for other students to look at and relate to. I would give them a list of different sites to use to make a blog/website. They should use pictures, graphics, different texts, video links, etc. They can make it relatable and fun, but also should consider a professional site for colleges or for future employment. I think students would really enjoy this.]]> 2020-03-31 18:30:04 UTC https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/485168426 https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/485190049 For grades K-2, I would assign these students to research an animal that they like and create a PowerPoint about the animal, presenting facts and information. Students will be given several links to help them with their research but would be encouraged to explore the animal on their own via Google. The whole point of the assignment would be for students to learn how to research on their own and "organize" and present the information.]]> 2020-03-31 18:41:29 UTC https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/485190049 https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/485262212 For strand B, I would focus on 8.1.2.A.1 which states "Identify the basic features of a digital device and explain its purpose". For the assignment, I would give my students a diagram of the assigned digital device and have them label the basic features of it . There will be a small space underneath where the children can explain what that feature's purpose is and how they may use it .]]> 2020-03-31 19:18:13 UTC https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/485262212 https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/485269691 For strand B for a pre-k class, I would focus on 8.1.P.B.1 that states "create a story about a picture taken by the student on a digital camera or mobile device". For the assignment, I would like the students to take a picture of something they would like to write about. The object can range anywhere from their favorite stuffed animal to their favorite place to be. I will print out the photos, stick them onto colored construction paper, and have the students create a imaginative story about the photo they had taken. The projects can then be hung around the room or outside the classroom as documentation.]]> 2020-03-31 19:22:28 UTC https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/485269691 https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/487135247 For strand A I would choose 8.1.2.A.4 "Demonstrate developmentally appropriate navigation skills in virtual environments (i.e. games, museums)" I would have my K-2 students play an educational game to help them with their skills in a certain subject area, such as math. This activity could be done in the designated technology area in the classroom. As the teacher I would download certain applications or allow them certain websites to visit with games to help them with their math skills such as adding, subtracting or even pattern recognition. ]]> 2020-04-01 16:26:02 UTC https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/487135247 https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/487154999 For strand B I would choose 8.1.2.B.1 "Illustrate and communicate original ideas and stories using multiple digital tools and resources" to have the students create their own storybooks. When I was in second grade we wrote our own books and I think it would be a great idea for the kids to still experience. I would have them start by handwriting their story. Then we would have them type it up and include pictures they can find on the internet, take their own pictures, or draw their pictures and scan them onto the document on the computer for their illustrations. At the end, we would publish their books on a website as an e-book so they can share it with their family and friends all over the world. They could even record themselves reading their story. ]]> 2020-04-01 16:33:41 UTC https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/487154999 https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/487411841 8.1.12.F.1
In this strand I will have my students work in groups to brainstorm different problems/issues that they may notice in the school environment. After coming up with a couple good ideas I will ask them to come up with solutions to the problems. After each group has finished their own set of problems/issues they will switch with another group until everyone has contributed to all the groups. Then the students will analyze which problems/issues came up multiple times and as a class determine two problems/issues that were the most popular. They would then use their own knowledge and outside sources such as the internet to come up with a professional plan on how to solve the problems that they chose. ]]> 2020-04-01 18:22:45 UTC https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/487411841 https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/487458632 8.1.12.A.4
Students will pick topics to take surveys on and record information taken into Excel. Surveys can include asking classmates when they were born, if they have pets (how many, what kind), etc. Then the students will create a type of graph that goes along with the information that they collected. ]]> 2020-04-01 18:46:11 UTC https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/487458632 https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/491510119 For grades K-2, I would provide a graphic organizer that has 4 squares. 1 square would be labeled "My opinion" or "My Knowledge", the 2nd would say "My Friend's Opinion/Knowledge", the 3rd would say "An Authors Opinion/ Knowledge from a book" and lastly, "An Author's Opinion or Knowledge from the Online". I could maybe also change the author to a scientist depending on the subject. In the graphic organizer I would provide a layout in each square that has a line for a summary sentence, then a line for a quote with quotation marks surrounding it and then leave space at the bottom for them to put their sources. This allows them to recognize their ideas from others, the need to quote the ideas of others and also the difference and importance of print vs. non-print. More so, they begin understanding how to conduct research on a topic and get to collaborate with their classmates.]]> 2020-04-03 16:27:03 UTC https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/491510119 https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/491565267 For grades K-2, I would ask the children to create a map of the school. I will tell them we need the map to work on an important project. We will start by taking a tour inside and outside of the school. Each child will be provided their own clipboard to and possibly a map of the school itself and be told to label or draw on the map as we walk. Once we return to the classroom the students will be assigned to small groups or work as a group as whole to develop a map collectively in relation with what they drew on our tour. Once each group or the group has developed the map I will tell them the special project. One example, is telling them I want to make a garden for our school. I will ask them where we can put it and ask them to work together to draw a design for the garden.

This could be changed in many ways to incorporate technology. Depending on the school one incorporation of technology could be having the students use Ipads to take photos while we tour the school. Depending on the topic and when it is revealed, the students could also interview and record students and staff from the school to help with their project. Another way to incorporate technology would be having them research information when creating their design at the end of the tour.  ]]> 2020-04-03 16:53:47 UTC https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/491565267 https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/491865726  8.1.12.A.3 
At the beginning of class, the students are to participate in a "Do Now" activity. This activity will be posted online, and it will resemble an online discussion forum. The students will be able to post their initial thoughts as well as respond to their fellow students. This would promote the understanding of the topic and contributing to online communities. ]]> 2020-04-03 20:12:15 UTC https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/491865726 https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/491874527  8.1.12.D.1 
To incorporate this strand into a lesson, I would introduce how to properly cite sources in MLA format. Personally, I find Owl Purdue to be a helpful tool when creating citations. I would include this online source and make it accessible to my students. Citing sources is extremely important for copyright reasons and it helps to avoid plagiarism. ]]> 2020-04-03 20:20:00 UTC https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/491874527 https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/492684937 For strand C, Grades 9-12, using Google Docs to create a project is a great way to communicate with classmates. In a class of twenty students, I would make 5 groups of 4 students and assign each of the groups a different writing prompt. Each prompt will contain the same guidelines (the document will be no longer than 5 pages, each student will have to write at least a page worth of writing, and the story will have to follow your specific prompt) but each prompt will have a different plot line. The students, a collaborative group will be able to write their parts on the collective Google Doc, and there will have to be comments from each student. I think this assignment will be a good way for the students to work together, create comments about each person’s part, and not really have to meet in person if it is not a possibility.]]> 2020-04-04 19:05:34 UTC https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/492684937 https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/492697286 For Strand F, Grades 9-12, I think it’s important to use a Web Quest for students to figure out which sites are applicable to finding research and using for social media versus which websites might be scams. I will construct a Google Docs for the class, where each will be able to access on their own and make their own changes or write into it as needed. This will act as a way for students to document their experiences on each of the websites I provide and give the students an opportunity to write how they feel about the websites. ]]> 2020-04-04 19:24:13 UTC https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/492697286 https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/492740306 For a 9-12 class, I would assign a project that would involve writing a creating writing essay. Students have the ability to make whatever story they want. After the story is done, they have to film one specific scene from their story. In this project, 9-12 students would learn how to use technology and their own creativity to make their video. They would learn how to edit, use cameras, and upload/download files while doing this project.]]> 2020-04-04 20:36:17 UTC https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/492740306 https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/492741346 Something I can do is  web quest. I remember doing them in class, even at an older age and it was always really helpful and easy to do. In the classroom I feel like an ipad is the chosen technology used. I will explain what a web browser is, how to look up a website, how to turn it off and on, and then I can find websites I want them to use and say "okay friends, show me how to get to this website".

]]> 2020-04-04 20:38:16 UTC https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/492741346 https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/492742915 For a 9-12 classroom, I would assign them a writing assignment about their digital footprint. This would be written like an article that can be found on a newspaper or a blog. In this assignment, students have to analyze their own digital presence and see how this presence positively or negatively benefits their lives. After writing this assignment, the students will have a group debate in class about whether having a big digital presence on the internet is a positive or negative thing to have.]]> 2020-04-04 20:41:08 UTC https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/492742915 https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/492744770 For this I could easily find some games that they can play. I know there are many fishing games when it comes to vocabulary, and there are several reading games. Kahoot is also a great way to involve students all together in an interactive game. They can play in groups and pass around the iPad or take turns on the computer to answer the question. ]]> 2020-04-04 20:44:21 UTC https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/492744770 https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/492796174 For a 6^th-8^th math class, I would assign students to work in groups. Each group will be give a list of numerical data. Students would work with their group to sort their data in excel. Using excel, they would need to generate a graph. They will also need to answer questions based on the data such as averages, medians, range. At the end, I would also have reflection questions about using this type of software.]]> 2020-04-04 22:40:54 UTC https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/492796174 https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/492815752 For a 9^th-12^th math class, students can work in groups of 2 and work on creating their own math tutorial from a list of select topics previously taught. they will have to work through 3 examples with each one harder than the previous one. They can be creative on what effects they want to incorporate into their videos. They would then upload them on YouTube and we would take turns watching each group’s video in class. ]]> 2020-04-04 23:40:16 UTC https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/492815752 https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/493423331 For this strand I would use 8.1.P.A.4 This is the one where you are naming all the parts of the technology in the classroom and being able to use the terms with peers and teachers. One activity that I would do in a Pre K classroom could be that in the begging of the school year when you are introducing centers and some might have like a technology center or being able to earn computer or tablet time. Before you let this happen as a teacher I would take a day or 2 to make sure we go over all the parts and label the parts as a class so they become familiar with the terminology and can be able to utilize this terminology in their everyday conversations.]]> 2020-04-05 16:29:42 UTC https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/493423331 https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/493429573 For this strand I would use 8.1.2.C.1- Engage in a variety of developmentally appropriate learning activities
with students in other classes, schools, or countries using various media
formats such as online collaborative tools, and social media. For this as a kindergarten teacher and maybe even older just creating your very own classroom instagram or facebook page and following parents, having other classrooms join in and being able to show the students the interaction you can have over social media and all the other tools and stuff that you can do together as a class and even with people that are not at the same school as you. As a teacher I would reach out to other teachers that I know and other districts and get them to join our project to make it even that much cooler to show that it can go outside of your own school.]]> 2020-04-05 16:35:11 UTC https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/493429573 https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/493626731 Being that strand A discusses students needing to understand the various terms of technology (mouse, keyboard, monitor, etc) I would incorporate learning these terms into circle time and do nows. I would have each part of the computer in picture form so that the students could see what that specific part is and we would discuss what it does. Then, once the students are familiar with those functions, I would begin allowing students to play educational games on the computer so they could learn to physically use them on their own. 

]]> 2020-04-05 19:33:15 UTC https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/493626731 https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/493658094 For a 9th to 12th grade history, what could be done here is the students would used previously talked about topics, and use it to create group based learning games so others can uses as well. They would be presented with a few topics, they can choose the one that would fit their grouping the best, and create a game from it. They can use the Scratch coding, or if they have something else they are familiar with, they could use that as well. ]]> 2020-04-05 20:04:35 UTC https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/493658094 https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/493661702 For 8.1.12.C.1, we could talk about morality based questions of history and use those for the lesson. Some topic that could be presented are "did America really need to use the Atom bomb in WWII?" The students would research the topic and present solutions as to whether we needed to use it or not, it would be a debate first, then it would turn into the morality part of the lesson, if we didn't need to use it, what could have we done differently? ]]> 2020-04-05 20:07:58 UTC https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/493661702 https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/493665860 For strand B I would have students create drawings of parts of the computer (mouse, keyboard, etc.) They would make each part into a character that explains its functions almost as a story book. ]]> 2020-04-05 20:12:07 UTC https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/493665860 https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/493713640 8.1.5.B.1
Strand B for grade levels 3-5 state students will apply existing knowledge to generate new products and create original works as a means of personal or group expression. 8.1.5.B.1 states that producing a digital story about a significant local event or issue based on first-person interviews. For my grade level, students can create a short paper and poster based on current news events, gathering information from news websites or newspapers to complete the task.]]> 2020-04-05 21:01:55 UTC https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/493713640 https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/493732293 I would send my students on a Web Quest to answer questions such as how mathematics relates to technology, and furthermore the importance of technology in all professions, and in turn, mathematics. I'd have students report their findings in a Google Docs document.]]> 2020-04-05 21:23:35 UTC https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/493732293 https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/493734698 I'd like to have a lesson on encryption and how cyber security works around number theory. Learning to decode small messages is a very good skill to have, as it opens students to the usage of modulus, which also is important in coding. Furthermore, teaching students how absolutely massive the code that keeps our internet safe will give students a newfound appreciation for both mathematics and technology's role in our society.]]> 2020-04-05 21:26:42 UTC https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/493734698 https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/493783719 8.1.5.F.1 
For strand F in grades 3-5, an example of an activity using these standards would best be described in a science class situation. The standard states, " Apply digital tools to collect, organize, and analyze data that support a scientific finding." One activity could be having students complete an activity that documents the life cycles of plants and/or animals and then compare each of the examples given. For example, humans grow through the stages of childhood, adolescence, and then adulthood where they remain until death. Insects such as butterflies start as caterpillars and go through a process called metamorphosis to become a butterfly until death.]]> 2020-04-05 22:37:41 UTC https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/493783719 https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/493833650 For strand A for K-2 I would find educational games for my students and other activities to help them with their skills. This would be set up in a corner of the classroom where student earn computer time.The also need to be able to identify certain technology, so I would have a lesson at the begging of the year that goes over everything in the technology corner. ]]> 2020-04-06 00:14:31 UTC https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/493833650 https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/493835959 For grades K-2 I would assign a research project .The research project can be about anything we have learned in class that the students found interesting. The student will be able to research this topic on their own using the internet as well as use the lessons conducted in the class. They then would present it in class using google slides or powerpoint. ]]> 2020-04-06 00:18:54 UTC https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/493835959 https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/493887511 8.1.12.C.1
In conjunction with strand C for classes of 9-12 grade, I would focus on the standard: 8.1.12.C.1 which states, "Develop an innovative solution to a real world problem or issue in collaboration with peers and experts, and present ideas for feedback through social media or in an online community." I would love to incorporate the ability of speaking to other classrooms around the globe about common or major issues specific to that region. Being that I am studying to be a Spanish language teacher, I feel as if it would be a great outlet for students to practice their language skills, while also attaining knowledge about real life issues in another country. I actually participated in a similar activity to this in my high school Spanish classes, where we as a class would have the opportunity to research the country that was chosen for us, and we would then present our research and findings to a classroom in another country; for me it was Mexico. Students will be able to use the target language, even if it is limited, to really connect with the other culture and discuss these important topics. It is a great demonstration and learning tool to receive information first hand from students-alike, especially in another cultural atmosphere. ]]> 2020-04-06 01:54:27 UTC https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/493887511 https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/493903225 8.1.12.E.1
In conjunction with the standard 8.1.12.E.1, which states, "Produce a position statement about a real world problem by developing a systematic plan of investigation with peers and experts synthesizing information from multiple sources," I would like to produce a lesson about the different ways of learning a language through the use of different technology mediums. We live in an era with widely open access to technology and learning languages has become a lot easier due to many outlets of learning having been created. While textbooks do help in a sense, we now have the power to communicate and utilize online programs and study tools that help to train our minds and progress us further to fluency. I would have students do a research project where they would have to research the world issues that are experienced when learning a language; discussing how some mediums work better than others, other resources might focus on grammar and culture while others might focus on vocabulary and speaking etc. I would then have students present their findings to the class, enlightening us on the issues that are faced in this day in age when learning a language. I would then have them present their synthesized information from credible sources and what they have to say, teaching us about the best methods to learn a language while also being aware of the issues that we could face in the process.]]> 2020-04-06 02:25:29 UTC https://padlet.com/anh21/377n50l9358j/wish/493903225
